Just watched ARGO. Bloody brilliant!
Loved the details like the grainy effect of the whole movie, how well cast were the people (beside Mr. Affleck), wow. All in all a solid 5/7.
Jokes aside a very very good movie.
I consider it a better version of Spy Games.
Spoiler Alert!
The only part that made me cringe was the final chase down the runway… mah, would have worked just as well if it didn’t happen.
So I was listening to NPR this morning (Fresh Air with Terry Gross) and they were interviewing the creator of the Netflix series “FAUDA.” It is from the same guy I believe did the documentary “The GateKeepers.” It was a fascinating interview. I went and put this series into my Netflix Watch list and will start it this weekend.
This is not a film about people hunting our good Mudspike friend, @Troll. It is a Norwegian film, that takes place in the general area where @Troll resides / flies for real.
It is! Some of Norways best comedy actors are in it, in small but important roles. And of course the Troll Hunter himself.
There are so many small details in the movie, that fits right in with the plot of some budding movie producers hot on the trail of the secret Norwegian government Troll Control department. A department that doesn’t exist, because Trolls doesn’t exist. Or… Do they?
I’m rather meh on this one. Looks a bit too comedic for my taste in this franchise. I do enjoy seeing Key in movies (I LOVED Keanu), but I think I’ll wait for the first weekend reactions from friends before I see this one.
Last week I went with some pals to the Alamo Drafthouse in Denver to watch 2001 (nice to see it on a big screen again). The theater serves food and drink during the show. My wife wants to go there, so we are talking about Predator - prolly next week.
